Still in uniform, Ronjanae DeGray walked off the Jack Stephens Center floor Thursday and toward the locker room where she was met by a handful of students -- her students.
Not only is DeGray the University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's basketball team's leading scorer and rebounder this year, but the senior forward is also an up-and-coming teacher.
Two or three times a week, DeGray doubles as a special-education teacher at Bale Elementary School -- just a short drive down the street from the Jack Stephens Center -- to fill her internship requirements as an outgoing senior majoring in special education.
